Around Iceland On Inspiration

I have been blown away.

Last week I was fortunate enough to trek to Iceland for a few nights with my father. What an amazing place. Add it to your bucket list immediately.

My brother, Dan (@danskinstad) along side serial adventurer Riaan Manser (@riaanmanser) have decided to be the first Africans to circumnavigate Iceland in a kayak.

Only after spending some time there did I realise the enormity of their challenge. The water is freezing, the surf is volatile and unpredictable and the total distance is close to 2500km.

More and more people have been asking me about their progress and how they can follow them more closely, so I have added a few links below that will keep you in the loop:

- Riaan’s Website: here

- Official Photographer, Richard Mills’ photoblog: here 

- Dan on twitter – @danskinstad

- Riaan on twitter – @riaanmanser

- Me on twitter – @skinstad (I’ll update whenever I hear something)

And for those that haven’t yet seen the introduction video:

I also snapped away while I was there:

Please tell as many people as possible about their trip – I’m extremely proud!
